Patterns for components based projects

Hi,

We have two or three projects developed concurrently. These projects
have some aspects similar to each other, hence they share a collection
of public components each of which gets a dedicated top source
directory for its own. I know in svn there is a mechanism sounds
something like 'external links', and I want to ensure from you experts
that this is exactly what I am looking for. Actually, I think the
challenge is after project Pa and project Pb shared component Cx,
there exits situation one day that Pa find it has to modify/improve
Cx to some extends to fits it own needs and still don't want to break
Pb which is in the meantime using original version of Cx. More
difficult than this, Cx still has a chance to find it need to
improve/modify Cx too. So my question is:

1. How to allow above development requirements to be fulfilled while
get all my code version-controlled and well managed?
2. After Pa and Pb changed Cx, Is it still easy to me to let these
chances merge back and release a more recent version of Cx for further
use?
3. How exactly to use the 'external link' feature of SVN when in every
step of above process?

Thanks advance.
